Vascularized free fibula head transfer is an established method for reconstruction of long bone defects of the upper limb involving the distal radius or the proximal humerus. For the wrist following tumor resection, in cases of resection of the radial articular surface, three reconstructive options are possible: 1. fibular head transfer to replace the radial joint surface, 2. fixation of the fibula to the scaphoid and lunate, 3. complete wrist fusion. The decision on the type of the operation depends on the amount of the resection and the remained normal anatomical structures, and also the necessity of function of the wrist in the future. The authors believe that the vascularized free fibula head graft is a safe and reliable method for reconstructing the upper limb, especially for patients with a defect of the distal radius, and report the operative methods, donor vascular consideration, complications, and functional result after this operation.

목적: 유방암 환자치료 과정에서 breast board를 이용한 방사선 치료시, 환자 위치 재현성을 향상시킬 수 있는 방법론을 개발하고, 효용성을 검증한다. 대상 및 방법: 환자와 breast board 사이에서 기존의 오목한 두개골 판 사용시 발생할 수 있는 오차를 개선하기 위해서, 두경부 지지대를 breast board에 장착할 수 있도록 개조한 장치를 개발하였다. 이 장치가 breast board에 장착된 상태에서 두부(頭部)의 위치를 측정할 수 있는 계측도구를 사용하여, 체중이 다른 2명의 자원자에 대해 각각 50회에 걸쳐 재현성을 검증하였다. breast board의 좌우 방향의 기울어짐을 방지하기 위하여서는, breast board 상하부에 지지대를 장착하여 높이에 맞게 아크릴 판을 삽입하여 좌우를 고정하는 계단형 좌우 고정장치와, breast board 측면에 홈으로 연결된 두 개의 알루미늄 지지대를 장착하여, 수평계로 보정된 높이를 고정시킬 수 있는 팔걸이형 좌우 고정장치를 개발하였다. 장치의 유무에 따라 좌우의 편중 하중에 대한 breast board의 좌우 높이(기준 위치) 변화를 수회 측정하여, 기울어짐의 전도를 수치적으로 환산함으로써 장치의 효용성을 검증하였다. 결과: Cranio-caudal 방향 오차에 대해서는 50 kg, 70 kg의 체중을 가진 2명의 자원자에 대하여 5단계(3 cm, 10 cm, 20 cm, 30 cm, 39 cm)의 breast board 높이에 따라 각각 10회씩, 기존의 오목한 두개골 판과 개선된 두경부지지대를 비교하여 실험을 수행한 결과, cranio-caudal 방향 위치의 표준편차가 평균 $55\%$ 이상 감소하였다. 계단형 좌우 고정장치의 효용성을 검토한 결과 50 kg, 70 kg 체중의 자원자에 대하여 각각 $73\%$, $85\%$ 이상의 기울기 감소 효과가 나타났고, 팔걸이형 좌우 고정장치에 대해서는 각각 $90\%$ 이상의 기울기가 감소한 것으로 나타났다. 결론: 모의 실험 결과, 개선된 두경부 지지대와 좌우 고정장치를 통해 cranio-caudal 방향 위치와 breast board의 기울기의 편차가 기존에 비해 현저하게 감소하였으므로, 임상적용시 환자 위치의 재현성 향상에 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

The purpose of this study is to reveal the factors leading to the problem of unilateral condylar fractures and suggest a treatment guideline of treatment for good prognosis in surgical treatment. The factors can be age, sex, fracture site, degree of displacement, posterior occlusion loss, post-operative alteration of condylar head position, post-operative condylar head resorption, and maxillomandibular fixation period. One hundred and eleven patients with unilateral condylar fractures, who were treated by surgical method from 1990 Feb. to 2000 Feb., were studied. Minimum follow-up period was 6 months. The results were as follows ; 1. In the age group of $41{\sim}60$, females had significantly higher complication rate than males, therefore we must be careful about treatment of female in this age group 2. In level I fractures of the mandibular condyle, because there were abundant complications when the patients were treated with fragment removal, conservative treatment is recommended over the surgical approach. 3. There were no differences in the complication rate, in the level II, III fractures. but were severe complications in the cases of patients treated by Dr.Nam's method or fragment removal. Therefore, open reduction and internal fixation is recommended over Dr.Nam's method or fragment removal. 4. In level IV fractures, open reduction and internal fixation is recommended 5. Although there was a higher complication rate depending on the degree of deviation, there was no correlation between the degree of deviation and development of complications in each level of fracture 6. Because the complication rate was higher in cases of condylar resorption, vertical dimension loss, and alteration of condylar head position, we must make an effort to prevent such complications during treatment

The coefficient of derailment and the rate of wheel load reduction were used as the index of train running safety that was directly affected the train derailment safety. In aspects of track, the train running safety depends on the complex interaction between wheel and rail, and the track-vehicle conditions (i.e., the curvature, cant, track system, vehicle speed and the operation conditions, etc). In this study, the relationship between the train running safety and the track curvature and vehicle speed for direct fixation concrete tracks currently employed in Korean light rapid transit was assessed by performing field tests using actual vehicles running along the service lines. The measured dynamic wheel load, lateral wheel load and lateral displacement of rail head were measured for same train running on four tested tracks under real conditions, which included curved and tangent tracks placed on the tunnel and bridge, thus increasing the train speed by approximately maximum design speed of each test site. Therefore, the measured dynamic track response was applied to the running safety analysis in order to evaluate the coefficient of derailment, the rate of wheel load reduction and the track gauge widening at each test site, and compare with the corresponding Korean train running safety standard. As the results, the lateral track response of direct fixation concrete track appeared to increase with the decreased track curvature; therefore, it was inferred that the track curvature directly affected the train running safety.

치료대상 병소에 분할 방사선수술을 시술할 경우 회전중심(isocenter)은 정확하고 재현성 이 있어야 한다. 본 연구는 노발리스 방사선 수술장비와 정위 마스크 시스템을 사용한 분할방사선 수술에서 회전중심의 재현성을 측정하고 평가 하였다. 마스크는 열가소성 재질의 상용을 사용하였고 회전중심의 재현성을 측정하기 위해 고안된 머리 모양의 아크릴 팬텀에 맞도록 제작하였다. 팬텀의 내부에는 직경 5 mm의 아크릴봉을 수직으로 세우고 그 끝단을 회전중심으로 선택하였으며 예상되는 회전중심점에 pin hole을 낸 monochromic 필름을 설치하여 방사선 조사 후 회전중심의 재현성을 측정할 수 있도록 하였다. 측정 결과 회전중심은 공간오차가 평균 1 mm 이내이고 표준편차 또한 2 mm 이내여서 이미 보고된 타 문헌에서의 측정값과 비교해 볼 때 모든 측정값이 제시된 오차범위 내에 있었다. 결론적으로 분할방사선수술에 사용하는 정위 마스크 시스템은 매우 정확하고 재현성이 우수하였으며, 실제로 방사선 수술대상의 병소의 직경이 10 mm 정도 이상이라면 일반적인 한번의 고선량 방사선 수술에 정위 마스크 시스템의 사용이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

Fracture and dislocation of the four lateral metatarsal head and neck at the metatarsophalangeal joint, which may be associated with a hyperextension force, axial load, and additional rotating force, has rarely been reported. The patient was a 32-year-old man who sustained the injury in a motor vehicle accident. Manual reduction was easily performed but maintenance of reduction was difficult, due to the associated fractures of the metatarsal necks. Thus percutaneous internal fixation with Kirshner's wires was required.

Post-thyroidectomy dysphonia occurs very frequently. Causes of dysphonia include recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) or external branch of superior laryngeal nerve (EBSL) injury, intubation, laryngotracheal fixation and other causes. Patients commonly characterized hoarseness or their voice impairment inability to short or sing and loss of loudness. Although complete recovery can be expected mostly in 3 months without obvious nerve injury, dysphonia lowers patients quality of life. The present review discuss the very kinds of causes of post-thyroidectomy dysphonia.

Bow hunter's stroke is a rare symptomatic vertebrobasilar insufficiency in which vertebral artery (VA) is mechanically occluded during head rotation. Various pathologic conditions have been reported as causes of bow hunter's stroke. However, bow hunter's stroke caused by facet hypertrophy of C1-2 has not been reported. A 71-year-old woman presented with symptoms of vertebrobasilar insufficiency. Spine computed tomography showed massive facet hypertrophy on the left side of C1-2 level. A VA angiogram with her head rotated to the right revealed significant stenosis of left VA. C1-2 posterior fixation and fusion was performed to prevent serious neurologic deficit from vertebrobasilar stroke.

Traumatic bilateral abducens nerve palsy is rare and is associated with intracranial, skull and cervical spine injuries. We report a case of bilateral abducens nerve palsy in a 40-month-old patient with a skull base fracture. The injury mechanism was associated with direct nerve injury caused by a right petrous bone fracture and indirect injury by frontal impact on the abducens nerve at the point of fixation to the petrous portion and Dorello's canal. The emergency physician should be aware of injuries and the mechanism of abducens nerve palsy in head trauma.

Neurofibromatosis, now termed neurofibromatosis type I, is known as a congenital and familial disease presenting abnormalities of the skin, nervous system, bones, and soft tissue. We experienced a case of extremely large neurofibromatosis which developed on the orbital and temporal region of a 24-year-old man. The tumor was widely excised including normal skin margin, outer table of cranium, a part of zygoma and maxilla. Bony defect was reconstructed by rib bone graft and secondary cosmetic correction of blepharoptosis was performed using supratarsal fixation in postoperative 6 months.
